What governs a New Jersey directive
New Jersey's healthcare-directive statute is at N.J. Stat. §26:2H-53 et seq. Your directive is valid the moment it's signed under your state's witness and notary rules above; it only takes effect if your physician determines you can't make or communicate decisions yourself.
Who can witness your New Jersey directive
A designated health care representative shall not act as a witness to the execution of an advance directive (N.J.S.A. 26:2H-56). I am not the health care representative or the alternate health care representative named in this Advance Directive.
